If you know about the Violet Wand electrical toy (of which you’ll hear more here, since Bethie and I recently got one we haven’t had time to play with yet) you’ll be amused by its use as a spanking toy, as described in the comments to this post at The Swan’s Heart:

Swan found this glorious whisk…yep a kitchen whisk. It is not the normal one with the loops. This one is as if someone cut the loops open and put little metal balls on the end of each stainless steel rod… Sooooo….you put the violet wand in one hand, grounding yourself and them “bo-ing!” the whisk against your partner’s bared skin….oooooohhhhhh. Wanna hear them giggle? Turn the juice low….Wanna hear them wail? Crank ‘er up and watch the show!

Not quite that one, since the one Swan found had metal balls on the end. But close!

Folks, I’ve had to delete (or fail to approve) several comments to this thread, all of which contained attempted safety warnings. I say “attempted” because I disagreed with specific details of the deleted comments, and I refuse to allow sensationalistic misinformation on my blog. Also, one commenter went further and said such play was “too sadistic” — very much a “your kink is not OK” comment such as we don’t allow here.

Obviously, like any BDSM play (even spanking!) there are safety precautions to be observed when playing with electrical toys. I don’t focus on safety issues on this blog because I have faith that my readers are responsible adults who research their play. The web is knee-deep in BDSM safety information; I don’t see the need for more as Spanking Blog’s vital mission.
